As we do every year, this year we are once again participating in FABTECH, North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event. FABTECH 2015 takes place in Chicago, November 9-12 at McCormick Place, and we’ll be on hand at the four-day show to introduce the newest PFERD products. While they may be new products, the innovative grinding, cutting and surface-finishing tools we’ve added to our catalog provide the same excellent results and the outstanding value PFERD products have been producing for our customers throughout the past two centuries. We’re known for providing single-source solutions for hand finishing, grinding, cutting and specialty applications.

FABTECH attendees have the opportunity to preview our new PFERD TM22 tool manual, and can see live demos of PFERD products. The new PFERD TM22 tool manual has enhanced navigational features, in depth technical data references and over 600 new product innovations. The live demos we’ll be hosting at the show will highlight key applications for many of our grinding, cutting and surface-finishing tools. Plus PFERD representatives will be on hand to answer questions and discuss in-depth details about all of our products.

The PFERD TOOL MOBILE van service will also be onsite demonstrating how we provide firsthand onsite local training to our customers. Feel free to talk to one of our representatives to learn more about scheduling a visit at your shop location.

At FABTECH 2015, see for yourself why manufacturers all over the world rely on our products to get their jobs done, and you can discover why we like to say, “The combination of innovative, high-performance products, world-class customer support, and your expertise guarantees the optimum result for every task!”

Look for the PFERD team in Booth #N8025 at FABTECH 2015. In the meantime, or if you can’t make it to Chicago, if you have any questions about PFERD products, reach out to us through our website, or give us a call at 800-342-9015.

PFERD is always looking for innovative ways to help our clients. Whether it’s communicating safety procedures or optimizing common applications, we enjoy being able to problem-solve any of our clients’ needs. One way is through our small laboratory classes at the PFERDACADEMY in Milwaukee. Another is held outside the classroom and allows us to provide our clients with real world applications of our tools and services. We realized that all of our clients have different needs, so we wanted to give them an option for a more specialized experience. One where PFERD can showcase our products and demonstrate varying solutions needed to resolve your individual concerns. That is why we incorporated our Tool Mobile program. Continue reading →

After many months of planning, designing, and collaboration, the PFERD TOOL VAN is “wrapped”!

The talented professionals at GFXI, a design company specializing in merchandising displays and large-scale branding, have been working closely with PFERD’s Marketing Department since the summer of 2012 to bring this long-awaited project to life.

Based in Chicago, Applications Specialist Kevin Kolb will be test-marketing our TOOL VAN program in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor initially. The TOOL VAN will be PFERD’s “Mobile Solutions” vehicle, making appointments and calls on distributors and end users to demonstrate PFERD products, develop application solutions, and provide training and expertise on our expansive product line.

The TOOL VAN is currently on its way to Monroe Truck for interior installations and fixtures, after which it will be ready to roll!
